I just love linking up with Joanne over at Head Over Heels for Teaching for her Spark Student Motivation Saturday linky party!
I am a Vistaprint fanatic! They create first-class marketing products at a very reasonable cost. Sometimes you can get products for free and only have to worry about paying for shipping and handling. Through Vistaprint, I have created parent contact postcards (for positive and negative behavior), business cards, a class banner, magnets, and the product I’m highlighting today, “Whooooo Did A Great Job” student reward cards.
Positive Contact Card
I like these cards, because they can be given out for anything! Came in and immediately got started on bellwork? Get a card! Ranked #1 on our device activity? Get a card! Awesome participator today? Get a card! Students return their cards and I put them in a box for a weekly drawing where they can earn various types of passes (HW, Bonus Points, Missed Assignment). We’re required to make 5 positive parent contacts a month and with this card it is, as my DD says, easy-peasy!
And, like I said earlier, these cards were so inexpensive! I got 250 of them free and only had to pay shipping and handling. I ended up going back and ordering a second set, so I think I paid around $14.00 for 500 of them…..that’s it!
Do you have a creative activity that you use to spark your students’ interests? I’m sure you do, so head over to Joanne’s to share your wonderful strategies!
Until the next time!
